Arizona teenager injured by homemade weapon Oct 16th 2012, 12:03 Published October 16, 2012 Associated Press A juvenile needed surgery after he was shot in the left hand by a homemade weapon in the small Arizona town of Mammoth. Pinal County Sheriff's officials say the 14-year-old boy was taken to a Tucson hospital Saturday. His name hasn't been released. Authorities say the teen and his friend built the weapon from material found on the property where 1 of the boys lives. They secured a short piece of pipe in a vise and stuffed shells into one end before striking the primer end of the ammunition with a small axe. Authorities say when 1 of the juveniles put a 12-gauge shotgun slug in the pipe and attempted to discharge it, the round blew up and shrapnel became lodged in the palm of 1 of the boys.
